Knockback not exactly working?

hi, so basically i have a knockback system for a bat i made, but the knockback only seems to work for a split second, and even though ive tried like adding waits, it either does it at the very start, or just doesnt do it at all. Help would be appreciated

Here is the script that gets activated when a remote event is fired

game.ReplicatedStorage.Bat.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)
	local debounce = false
	local char = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
	local tool = char:FindFirstChild("Bat")
	local bat = tool

	local RegionPos1 = bat.Handle.hitbox.Position - (bat.Handle.hitbox.Size / 2)
	local RegionPos2 = bat.Handle.hitbox.Position + (bat.Handle.hitbox.Size / 2)
	local HitboxRegion = Region3.new(RegionPos1, RegionPos2)

	task.wait(1)

	bat.Handle.SWING:Play()
	

	
	local BodyPartsInRegion = workspace:FindPartsInRegion3(HitboxRegion, nil, 1000)
	

	
	for index, hit in pairs(BodyPartsInRegion) do
		local HitCharacter = hit.Parent
		local HitHumanoid = HitCharacter:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid")
		local HitTorso = HitCharacter:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")
		local HitHead = HitCharacter:FindFirstChild("Head")
		local HitPlayer = game:GetService("Players"):GetPlayerFromCharacter(HitCharacter)

		local damage = 20
		
		if (HitCharacter ~= nil) and (HitHumanoid ~= nil) and (HitTorso ~= nil) and (HitHead ~= nil) then

			if HitCharacter.Name ~= player.Name then

				if debounce == false then
					debounce = true
					bat.Handle.BIGHIT:Play()
					game.ReplicatedStorage.Boom:FireAllClients()
					local boom1 = bat.Handle.hit1:Clone()
					local boom2 = bat.Handle.hit2:Clone()
					boom1.Parent = HitTorso
					boom2.Parent = HitTorso
					boom1.Enabled = true
					boom2.Enabled = true
					HitHumanoid.Jump = true
					HitTorso.Velocity = (player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()):FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart").CFrame.LookVector * 200 + Vector3.new(0, 30, 0)
					wait(0.4)
					boom1.Enabled = false
					boom2.Enabled = false
					game.Debris:AddItem(boom1, 1)
					game.Debris:AddItem(boom2, 1)

					

					HitHumanoid:TakeDamage(damage)

					local CreatorTag = Instance.new("ObjectValue")
					CreatorTag.Name = "creator"
					CreatorTag.Value = player	
					CreatorTag.Parent = HitHumanoid
						game.Debris:AddItem(CreatorTag, 3)
						end
				end
			end
		end
	end)
